Even with a small budget -- less than $300,000 -- and a lack of marquee names, Chainsaw's gritty vibe and unflinching violence helped propel a $30 million box office.
While both movies lean on somewhat different filmmaking techniques, the success of both The Blair Witch Projectand Paranormal Activityowe much of their success to Chainsaw. It doesn't matter how much money or how many stars you have; a horror movie needs to be scary before anything else. Hooper recognized that.
That's where the 1986 Chainsaw sequel -- which Hooper also directed -- went wrong. It's been elevated to cult status in more recent times, but the gritty, grimy vibe of the originally was ditched in favor of a schlock gross-out comedy.
Hooper was no one-hit-wonder, however. His 1982 horror flick, Poltergeist, a ghostly fairy tale that did for haunted house stories what Chainsawdid gruesome shock horror.
Hooper stuck to various flavors of horror for most of his career, though it wasn't just big screen features. He also contributed memorable episodes to the Tales from the Cryptand Amazing StoriesTV series' (among others), as well as the 1979 TV miniseries based on Stephen King's vampire novel, Salem's Lot.
Hooper's final film, Djinn, is a supernatural thriller produce by Image Nation, an Arabian film company, in the United Arab Emirates. It debuted at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival in 2013 but has yet to see a theatrical release.
